You might want to check your facts.The team that beated Man Utd and won the Champions League - and the Europa League, and two portuguese leagues, and I don't know how many local cups and supercups - was:
Vitor Baía; Paulo Ferreira, Jorge Costa, Ricardo Carvalho and Nuno Valente; Costinha, Pedro Mendes, Maniche and Deco; Carlos Alberto and Derlei.
He didn't spend anything in this team.
You do know, unlike a lot on here, Jose had jobs previous to Porto?
